so that's a big win for the president just in getting that done and not having to revisit it in six to eight months. >> that was his most important goal. thanks very much. one of the other goals of getting the deal done by tuesday's deadline is to preserve america's aaa credit rating. losing it could cause interest rates to rise. even with the deal, there's a very real possibility that the aaa rating is still in jeopardy. bianna golodryga has that story in new york. >> a few months ago, for most americans, aaa was a company you called when your car broke down. it's become associated with political gridlock. we've never been at risk of losing our aaa status before. they expect that agency to downgrade u.s. debts before the end of the year. >> nothing represents america's status more than its aaa rating. it tells investors there's no safer place to put their money than in our treasury, meaning we can borrow at low interest rates. it's the engine of our economy, a reflection of our prosperity, a fiscal bajs of hon ir. losing that was unthinkable. a point the leaders made no attempt at sug

we left the big city heading for the crown jewel of costa rica's parks system. we're here in the center of a small little gold mining town. it is also the gateway into a national park. in order to get in there you've got to hike for a couple days or you can do what we're doing and we're taking the aero taxi. this is the shortest landing strip in all of costa rica. they literally clear-cut the rain forest. if we don't make it, the plane goes into the ocean. we packed up all of our gear and our guide into a tiny single engine plane and held on tight. we're flying over. this is one of the most biologically intense places on earth. that had to be the coolest landing. home to the largest and only primary low-land rain forest in the world, 140 different animal species, many endangered. professor eduardo of the national university of koes tas rick ca is a top expert in jungle ecology and is one hell of a guide. >> he said an ocelot just passed through the trail. in just 24 hours, we saw more than most park visitors see in a week. rugged, remote, stunningly beautiful in
